With a passion for 3D that dates back to 2010, I started my career in digital film and animation at the SAE Institute in Hamburg. Balancing my studies with mentorship, I served as supervisor for the film department, before graduating with a Bachelor of Arts in "Digital Film Making."
I've since worked on numerous projects, starting as a previs artist and moving into the production department, gaining valuable experience at companies like Constantin Film, Trixter, and MPC. At RISE FX, I embark on a daily adventure as a VFX Production Manager, collaborating with a team of talented visionaries to breathe life into fantastical realms, one pixel at a time.
Tools
My work relies on the effective use of Shotgrid and Google Sheets to keep projects organized and on track. I'm experienced in setting up Cinesync and SyncSketch sessions for client reviews, streamlining the feedback process.
My knowledge of file transfer applications such as Aspera, Sohonet, and Signiant ensures that all assets and shots are delivered promptly and efficiently. In addition to my proficiency in communication and multitasking, I bring a diverse range of skills to the table, enabling me to tackle tasks from different perspectives.
